Closing the Gender Wage Gap in Ontario

Ontario is seeking public input to develop a strategy which will help close the wage gap between men and women. The Gender Wage Gap Steering Committee is currently hosting consultation sessions with diverse groups across the province to assess ways government, organizations, and individual leaders can work together to address the conditions and the systemic barriers that contribute to the wage gap.

The Gender Wage Gap Strategy Steering Committee has created a series of papers. Two consultation papers, one for organizations and one for individuals, to accompany a background paper providing research and statistics on the Gender Pay Gap in Ontario. Each has information about the gender wage gap, as well as the questions the Steering Committee hopes will be answered.
